LAKE MARY -- With his team tied 1-1 in a Class 6A, District 3 semifinal matchup and 30 minutes left in the game, Lake Brantley senior Ricardo de Gruttola stretched his body to save the ball from rolling out of bounds.

He then dribbled the ball around his defender and knocked it past the goalie to give the Patriots a lead they kept for the rest of the game.
